wanted. An ordinance drafted in
spirit conceiving all persons who may want to
bring and sell natural gas to Indianapolis to be
thieves and public enemies is not likely to be

possible for anyone to do business under its

That sort of spirit, in nine cases out

spirit, the purpose of which is to attract and
secure natural gas to our people at the earliest
possible moment. Was the existing ordi-

THE National Tribune protests against the
invitation fro m the citizens of st. Louis for
the President to visit that city during the
coming national encampment of the Grand
Army, and says that so far as the G. A. r. is
concerned he will be an unwelcome guest.
The Tribune is churlish and can hardly be
thought to speak for the veterans The Grand
Army owes Mr.. Cleveland nothing and
many of his acts as President they have right
and reason to criticise; bat to the Office which
he holds they do owe respect and allegiance
and will welcome its occupant to any of their
gatherings The Army will endure when
Mr.. Cleveland shall have passed to private
life, and for this if for no other reason, it can
afford to put aside personal resentments.

FIRE THIS MORNING.

the noise caused by falling boxes. Under the i'm

ONE of the leading and most wide-awake

lowing note to the Journal yesterday. We
believe it speaks the general sentiment of
sensible, practical men of ali kinds:

much concerned as regards the opinion of the
general public or not as regards your public
position the street-car question, the gas

have taken. Nine business men out of every
ten in the city will say you are on the right

turning point for this city"

NOBODY has been indicted for forging tai

NOBODY has been indicted for forging tally
sheets. But twelve persons, among them
General Carnahan, have been indicted for
conspiring to induce inspectors to omit the
performance of certain duty. General Car
nahan and Mr. Coy stand exactly on a level.
There is no dissociating one from the other.
They have been indicted for the same act
which Judge Woods has said is crime
The Sentinel willfully and naliciously pub
fishes this bald and conspicuous falsehood

Coy do not stand exactly on level and that
'there is no dissociating one from the other !"
The grand jury ASSOCIATED them. They are
not indicted together. General Carnahan is
indicted separately and for separate offense,
whatever that may be. He is not indicted
for any connection with the forgery of
the tally-sheets, and Mr.. Coy is What is
the use of the Sentinel steadily misrepre-
senting the factss Eleven Democrats are
indicted for an offense intended to result in
the mutilation, alteration, forgery and change
of the election returns, and nobody else is,
so far as made public. The specific charge of
the Indictment against the Coy gang is that
they conspired to commit an offense the pur-
pose of which was to forge the tally-sheets.

THE STREET RAILWAY.

Colonel johnson thinks the newspapers are
down on him. The Colonel is mistaken.
1t is long suffering community that is down
on him, and it is the complaints of the people
that find voice through the newspapers. The
people of indianapolis have suffered for years
from the exactions and the abuses of the COM
pany, and every advance has been wrung
from an unwilling corporation by unceasing
and protracted exertions of the press and the
public. The poor and irregular service, and
the long waits between cars, and the uncer-
tainty of any cars, were only bettered
on the best-patronized lines, because of de-
mand that even the pachydermatous Colonel
could not resist, and upon some lines these
complaints still hold good. Not on the best
paying lines, such as the Observation-Disclosures
and Pennsylvania-street lines, is there now
common cleanliness and comfort in the cars
especially in the winter months. During cold
weather the cars on these lines, as all lines,
are simply bestial and outrageous filthy hog
and cattle pens, into which human beings are
driven by the necessity of reasonably rapid
transit to and from their homes and business
The passengers on the best paying lines are
compelled to act conductors under the
most trying circumstances. The bob-tail cars
and the fare-box are not, perhaps, such great
hardships on lines where the travel is light;
but ON the main lines, where the are
crowded and passengers have to hold for dear
life by the straps, the work of passing up
fares and making change is not so pleasant and
easy. Then to have the cars stopped until
the demand for an individual fare is complied
with is not incident that adds to the COM
plaisance of people who are in something of a
hurry to reach their destination. The drivers
are not to blame for this, for the present
strike has developed the fact that those in
famous black-mailers, known as spoilers" are
employed by the company, and if they report
driver short fare the latter is liable to the

THE strike of the street-car drivers is a
not help its status in the least to attempt to
elevate it into national Importance, and to
involve other men in the trouble who have
no grievances to complain of. The drivers
have just cause of complaint, and there is one
way in which the controversy between them
and the pinchgut company can be brought
to focus at once-that is, by the city author
tiles proceeding against the company for a
specific performance of its duties. If Indian
apolfs was not cursed with municipal admin
istration under the absolute control OF Tom
Johnsonism, the people would not be subject
ed to the outrages they now suffer. OF course,
there are numerous members of the Councils
who do not wear the Tom Johnson
collar but there are not enough Of them to
out vote the Coy Edenharter combine" or
else they do not care to exercise their power.
The stilted humbuggery and fanfaronade of as
sumed representatives of the Knights of La
Dor, with walking delegate" attachment and
boycott" bummers, is not the way to settle the
dispute between the street-car company and
the drivers. nor the way to protect the drivers
against the petty exactions of pinchgutism.
or to provide the people with first-class street
car service. The way to do it is for the city
government to use its power to subordinate
the company to law and justice. The time
when this can be done will probably not come
until the Coy Edenharter-T Tom johnson "com.
bine" can be voted out of the Councils at
the next election; but it will come then, if
not before.

THERE was another disgraceful election in
Louisville on Wednesday. All the papers
unite in characterizing it as shameful. 1t
was a special election for judge of the Law
and Equity Court, and Colonel Sterling b.
Toney defeated his opponent by about one
thousand majority. The Courier-Journa
says Colonel Toney seemed to have had and
used the most money, as the Harris men We're
out of funds several times during the day."
And this for a iudgeship of an equity @
court.
The Louisville Commercial is more decided
in it's comment upon the character Of the cleo
ton. 1t says:
I'm the election Yesterday between Judge
Harris and Colonel Tonev for the chancellor
ship, the utterly disgraceful canvass carried
through the newspapers for the past week
was continued until the close of the polls. 1t
was in keeping with the eternal fitness of
things that campaign begun in SANDER and
indecency should end in wholesale and shame
less bribery The successful can
didate will receive the congratulations of his
friends, and he will be elated at achieving
such great victory; but in his heart he must
feel what every honest man feels, that from
beginning to end the canvass was a idisrepu-
table one, the manner OF procuring votes was
contrary to all law and decency. and that SO
longas he remains in office the slime through
which he waded to reach the bench will cling
to his robes and be stencil in the nostrils of
the people"
On the heels of this caustic but just con-
domination of the shameful prostitution of the
election, the Commercial, in an adjoining
column, says "Col. Sterling B. Toney made
a brave fight for the vice chancellorship," and
then proceeds to an encomium of the successful
judge (9) just such as it asserts his friends
will accord him, when it is known that "slime
will cling to his robes, and be stencil in the
nostrils of the people," We should like TO ask
the Commercial how it expects to have any
influence in reforming such scandalous abuses
as this election unquestionably was when it
blows hot and cold in the same breath? What
influence can the good-Lord good-devil policy
have upon such community as Louisville
certainly must be to tolerate such an "elec-
ton" as this2
